We haven't had the consistency from JJJ and Philips offensively. And Scovi/Key haven't been too hot (Scovi from FT, and Key from everywhere else). If we can get them going into March while ZZZ keeps playing at this Level, not turning the ball over, we can go all the way. Big if's but this is a team that can win it all imo. Could just as easily have an off night and get knocked out early but I think our D will carry us to sweet 16 at least.
We've beaten 3 of the top 6 in the current rankings and played number 8 very close on their home floor. We can absolutely win it. This defense is historically good and last night shows we have good depth. Need to get healthy and hot but without a doubt could see this team taking it this year. GBOI don't see us winning it all. That would be fantastic--getting to the Final Four would be fantastic--but the truth is we're not a good offensive team. And that's going to make it hard for us in the tourney. There are games when we're good, but you gotta win six games, against good/very good opponents, and that's hard to do when you offense is as wildly inconsistent as ours. Our good defense gives us a chance--Texas Tech got to the title game pretty much on defense---but it didn't win.
Bama played good defense.Bama had 19 turnovers resulting in 26 points for the good guys yet only score a total of 68 points.
Yikes!
Basketvols had shutdown Mashack on BMiller and that was awesome but...
if we don't get improvement on offensive end the season could very possibly end on bad note.
That's a Halfull analysis.
